rcu: Remove redundant grace-period check

The rcu_process_dyntick() function checks twice for the end of
the current grace period.  However, it holds the current
rcu_node structure's ->lock field throughout, and doesn't get to
the second call to rcu_gp_in_progress() unless there is at least
one CPU corresponding to this rcu_node structure that has not
yet checked in for the current grace period, which would prevent
the current grace period from ending. So the current grace
period cannot have ended, and the second check is redundant, so
remove it.

Also, given that this function is used even with !CONFIG_NO_HZ,
its name is quite misleading.  Change from rcu_process_dyntick()
to force_qs_rnp().
